SauI_Goodman posted...That's a good point. If the xfl is going to be old-school style football where you can demolish the qb I'll be the first in line to watch. Everyone knew a serious concussion with loss of consciousness was bad. But playing through having your bell rung was really common at all levels of play. Linemen butting heads every single play wasn't on anyone's mind. Information about the impacts of frequent minor concussions was hidden. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

No one is going to watch the XFL with garbage players. I don't give a damn what the current mood towards the NFL, what the political climate is, when they air it, none of that matters. Bad football and boring games will always result in people not tuning in.
If the XFL couldn't succeed at a time when the NFL was more popular and Vince was still riding the high of being "a marketing genius" whos shows were getting massive ratings, what on Earth makes people think he could have success now? --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLH8skGXKw4 WHOOP WHOOP ...

Not too long ago we worked at a customer's condo and he had an XFL football on his shelf right next to one from the Cotton Bowl. Not something I ever thought I'd see.

Most CTE from the NFL isn't from concussions. It's from general play like taking dives into the endzone and basic "safe" tackles.

people are delusional if they think we needed research to tell that NFL hits are bad for your body in a serious way.
NFL knew, but didn't care because its profitable. end of story. now there is backlash and they need to "make the game safer". its all about making money. they don't give a crap about players' bodies. they knew they were getting fucked up from the get-go ... Copied to Clipboard!

and players do it because often its the only escape from poverty. no one WANTS to have permanent brain damage. i'd bet money that most of these players would go something else that didnt destory their bodies if it made them the same amount of money

Bad football and boring games will always result in people not tuning in. I doubt it will. People may tune in initially to see what the buzz is all about and to "stick it to the NFL!", but manufacturing fan bases out of thin air and getting people invested enough in what will always be looked at as a second rate league with poor quality of play is damn near impossible. Not to mention that the AAF(Alliance of American Football) is set to debut before the XFL relaunches in February of next year, meaning the buzz for an alternate league is going to be down. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLH8skGXKw4 WHOOP WHOOP ...

shockthemonkey posted...fenderbender321 posted...One of the things that rarely gets mentioned is the fact that the players union has pushed and pushed for "better" work-life balance and as a result players practice and workout much less these days than 20-40 years ago. also = more head injuries when not even playing a game. And don't even "nobody gets hurt in practice" Literally John Madden's career as a player in the NFL ended before it even began because of a practice injury. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...
